The location of this hotel is excellent, we had great views from our room and it was very convenient in terms of getting to various walks in the area. I wasn't overly impressed with our room, it was of a good size but a bit chinzy and the DVD player they provided didn't work. The customer service wasn't as good... more

I booked one of their special offers "Romantic Break" at the time we were booking for Sat 22nd and Sun 23rd and it was cheaper than booking DBB alone for the two nights, however this changed when I required to change the booking to the Sun and Mon night - it ended up costing an extra £20 as it was... more

This was my 7th visit to a McDonald hotel and it will be my last. Having read the reviews and based on my past experiences (all good) I was looking forward to my break at Forrest Hills, but the reality was vastly different. The Good: The location is wonderful - beautiful views, excellent grounds. The hotel rooms are fine -... more

Have just returned from a few days here and can’t agree with the negative comments on the run down nature of the hotel or lack of service. There are the odd pieces of furniture which have seen better days, but the overall standard of the hotel is excellent and above what is found in many 4 star UK hotels. We... more

This was our first time at this hotel, it‘s fantastic. The location is gorgeous, (this was probably helped by the fantastic weather we got!). We booked an executive room, which was spacious,(décor was dated for my taste, but was all clean) for dinner, bed and breakfast. Room service arrived on time at breakfast time, and was lovely and hot (If... more

We stayed in this hotel for a weekend break and had a lovely time. The scenery surrounding the hotel is beautiful and we were fortunate with the weather. The hotel can be reached easily from Glasgow by car, though the road to the hotel from Aberfoyle is very narrow! The hotel facilities are excellent with a surprisingly wide range of... more

We stayed here for our 1st year anniversary and had heard good things…however the entrance to the hotel is round the back and is slightly run down. We are from Edinburgh and used to the weather so we didn’t let that bother us and played a couple of games of tennis and hired bikes which was great fun (although I... more

I was staying at Aberfolye with my cousin (26), aunt and uncle, along with another family with young children. The scenery was breathtaking driving up to this hotel- lovely area for cycling (if you dont mind hills...and by hills, i mean mountains!) and for scenic drives. Some beautiful rural towns with alot more to offer shop-wise than the very basic... more

Set overlooking Loch Ard 4 miles from village of Aberfoyle. We stayed in a 2 bed apt with views of the Loch, a peaceful location. The apartment was big and spacious and well equipped, very comfortable. There is a swimming pool, sauna and gym on site which were very good. Also many indoor facilities such as bowls, badminton, table tennis... more

We have just spent a couple of days at the Forest Hills Resort where we had booked the ‘romantic break offer’ advertised as comprising of DB&B with a bottle of champagne, box of chocolates and bucks fizz breakfast, in reality what we received was a ½ bottle of champagne and a few matchmakers and we are still waiting for the... more
